Wireless communication and mobile computing
technologies have brought new opportunities and
challenges to the CSCW area. Traditional CSCW
solutions concerning communication and coordination
support are not applicable to mobile collaboration
scenarios. Therefore, new reusable solutions have to be
proposed in order to ease the development of mobile
collaborative applications. This paper presents a set of
design patterns to support communication and
coordination in mobile ad-hoc scenarios. These two
aspects are the basis to support mobile collaboration.
